Bold Text 1

[cjany]

I have a comment {comment} field and I would like to bold all instances of the word "CITATION". I've searched this formula for similar postings and nothing has worked for me.

Any suggestions?

I would use a combination of string functions to do a search for the word citation, instr would be one.

Something like

if length(trim(left({notefield}, instr(totext({notefield}), "CITATION"))))
then
trim(left({notefield}, instr({notefield}, "CITATION")))

And you would probably be doing this in the field formatting section of formula workshop.

Hope this helps!

Create a formula {@comments} to replace the comments field:

replace({table.comments},"CITATION","<b>CITATION</b>")

Then format {@comments} by right clicking on it->format field->paragraph->text interpretation->HTML text.

Wonderful solution (as always), Lbass, thank you!
A star for this.

Much shorter than my round about way!

That worked beautifully. Thank you so much.
